On December 5 at 10 a.m. residents of Toronto are invited to leave a non-perishable food item on their doorstep. Volunteers will collect the donations and redistribute them to those in need in the community. This is a city wide initiative and the goal is 250 000 food items in 1 DAY!!! Help us make this happen!!

Organizers ask that you register if you are participating so they can plan the pick up route accordingly. There is still a need for volunteers too!

More Info can be found at https://www.torontomiracle.org
